wook77Hi! I'm still rather giddy over the whole Star Trek thing. I highly doubt that's going away.
I cleaned up my flist some. Removed a few communities, defriended a couple of wanky h0rs and an entitlement h0r or three. All in all, I think the new alignment of the flist shall make me happier.
My evil plan has been discovered, by the way. Last year, I killed fests. This year, I've done my best to kill fandom. What those plucky girl detectives don't know is that next year, I attempt to kill the internet. It's all part of my plan to punish Al Gore for causing global warming :(.
I sort of accidentally overdrew my checking account. See, I forgot that I'd been responsible and paid all my bills early. So I hit the panic stage on Tuesday, paid them all AGAIN on Wednesday and overdrew my account. God, I'm a moron, sometimes. I need to remember when I've been responsible or I will never get to kill the internet.
I have these random thinkythoughts on how I ship a certain set of tropes, not so much the actual characters. Like - I love best friends that fall in love. I love snarky dialogue. I love interesting backgrounds. I love well-developed friendships that are so intimate that it's a struggle to make them more. Do you find yourself shipping tropes moreso than characters or is it just the characters?
Cause I've noticed that the H/D shippers on my flist gravitate towards the Kirk/Spock where there's still some sort of rivalry there. I like the Kirk/Spock, don't get me wrong, but god do I love the friends-into-more Kirk/McCoy (or McCoy/Kirk).
Also - when did fandom stop putting the "top" partner first? *shakes cane* You kids get off my lawn!

Date: 2009-05-22 03:25 pm (UTC)Good point about het couples. ALTHOUGH, now that I think about it, I wrote Lavender/Roger pegging fic once and totally wrote the header as "Lavender/Roger" without even thinking about it. COINCIDENCE? ;)
I must be bringing my assumptions in because of Snape/Lupin fandom, where, as far as I can tell, this totally does not apply. It's nearly always listed as Snape/Lupin or Remus/Severus (I go with the first because I despise Snape's first name and it kills my sexfic muse if I see it, ack), and although I'd have to go do a scientific study of correlation of pairing label to fic positions, I am fairly sure the coupling does not have any correlation to the label. Bottom!Snape is very, very popular in that pairing. *g*
Also, Remus/Sirius! I don't think I've ever seen it listed as anything but that, and yet, Remus is, shall we say, quite comfortable, cough, spreading his legs. Lalala. Do you label your R/S as... S/R, out of curiosity, or are you a top!Remus sort?
Anyway, to each their own of course, but afaik, it's never been totally done one way and is only now changing, if that's what you're seeing; depends on the pairing (and probably the fandom). :)

Date: 2009-05-22 07:05 pm (UTC)I think you were channeling :P but oh that is interesting to wonder about.
*pretends we're not talking about snape getting lucky* but huh, yeah. I wonder if it has something to do with paitongs with smush names. In looking back, I list dean/seamus as dean/seamus whether seamus is top or bottom, though he is bottom the majority of times.
I'm definitely a top!Remus person. I like the person with the more outrageous and dominant personality to be the bottom, even out control or something. It's why I like seamus on bottom too.
It's something I'm noticing becoming more and more common but what brought it to the forefront is someone in star trek was all o.O over McCoy being listed first and didn't know about the listing order thing. Mah assumptions, let me show you them.
